A movie that says so much about relationships between men and women and the dysfunctionality of their traditional respective roles.

Exquisite, intoxicating cinema that’s one part dress drama, two parts dysfunctional romance...

Imperfect characters actually build a nearly perfect chamber film, equal parts poetic and obscure. Read more

De spanning wordt sterk opgebouwd, mede doordat beide personen steeds meer uitdaging in elkaar zoeken, tot een krachtig en onvoorspelbaar einde. Phantom Thread is qua stijl vergelijkbaar met There Will Be Blood, maar doet het net een tandje rustiger aan. Read more
